dang, didnt know people loved yotas that much! this is making me miss my 04 RAV4.... taken too soon, RIP

 

interesting list...

 

That tells you which cars don't fall apart in 15 years..lol

 

Woah! Look at all the American and German cars on there!

 

Tell that to my GTI! haha

 

I still Have a 87 Nissan pickup, 87 Nissan 300z turbo and 98 Ranger 4x4 all bought new and still running great. All vehicles modded except Nissan p/u.

 

Also interested to see the percentage of vehicle owners in general that keep their rides longer than 15 years.

Fwiw, our Forester turns 17 this year....

 

Surprised the 4runner isn't on the list. Really the highlander is number 1?

 

I wonder if the head gasket problem days contributed to this?

 

That doesn't surprise me. I see more Taco's, Tundras and Camry's from the 90's than I do any other vehicles from that era. I mean, those 90's Camry's still have to be one of the most common vehicles on the road.

 

Put me on that list. 2005 still going strong. Regular maintenance only so far. The overhead compass did go out but has worked great since it was re-soldiered on.

 

I'm not that surprised. It's a nice "SUV" that can haul a ton of people, offer a car-like ride, and get good MPG. What's not to like?

Glad the Sienna beat out the Odyssey (at least on this list). I plan to keep ours definitely past 15 years. Such a great car. Compliments the Taco well.

 

But why in the hell would you own a toyota avalon that long (or at all)

 

The 60+ crowd loves em

 

Exactly, and they probably drive them a couple thousand miles a year too.

 

I would get an Avalon if they did awd on them. I loved my Cressida when they still made them. I didn't care for the Avalon replacement for the Cressida during the 1st gen avalons came out.

 

Also unsurprised.

 

Im surprised the Tacoma is that low to be honest, I figured it would be above the Sequoia, Odyssey and Rav-4 at least

 

Strictly a guess on my part, but I think a lot of this has to do with the "cool factor" of the 4runner. Some people buy them based on that and then realize they don't actually need it so they ditch it in 2-3 years. I suppose that can go for any car/truck but I can see the 4Runner having that affect more than others
